For #TWC46, @katiedidnt.bsky.social reviewed @tbaudinette.bsky.social's "Boys love media in Thailand"! Morrissey states that Baudinette "asks [us] to problematize [our] assumptions about queer media, embrace ambiguity, & resist older theoretical frameworks". Read the review here:

Okay, wait… (I’m catching up on recentish album releases.)
You’re telling me Wonho has a new song called “Scissors” and it’s NOT a giant metaphor for lesbians?!
Wasted opportunity!

I want to tell all of you about the neck/back massager I bought for $40 bucks last month and how you should buy one too, but I’m worried people will think this is some kind of awk euphemism and not understand that I’m just old and experiencing significant neck tension.

I keep trying to watch Daou & Offroad’s dramas & keep failing. I’m liking Wicked Game more than Century of Love, but why does everyone keep yelling at each other & shooting things? This is hospital management, not the mafia!

I’m on episode 22 of Are You the One (cdrama, 2024) and it is amazing so far. I’m obsessed with everyone! How are all these female characters so awesome?

Holidays are now an awk standoff where my dad never calls and I don’t want to call him, but I also don’t want him to be able to complain that I don’t call him?? And, then I worry that it’s somehow all my fault and I’m a bad person for not calling him (or wanting to) and then I still don’t call him.

Every time I look at Sailor Moon merch being sold in the US, I inevitably come to the same conclusion: Needs more lesbians.

I am so tired of the skin smoothing effect. Can we please get over this tool? The uncanny valley is not a place I want to hang out in.

Is anyone else paying attention to the fact that Dan and Phil have finally come out and announced that they have, truly, been in a relationship for 16+ years and the fangirls were right all along? Because, after years of silence, they’re pivoting and it now seems to be the main focus of their brand?

I keep hoping ticket prices for ARTMS will drop, but no. They continue to have rows of unsold tickets and hop people will pay $150+ for a club show.
Whyyyyy??? I am totally willing to attend this concert, but I am not willing to pay that much for a club show.

Me, trying to explain this to The Robot:
“There’s no actual carpentry. It’s mostly just Taemin posing artfully next to objects that are supposed to approximate carpentry.”
(We need animated gifs of this. I will make some, but probably not until Thursday.)

Can you get pinkeye from your cats? Because there’s definitely something wrong with my eye and the main precursor seems to have been my cats competing to see who can rub themselves over my face more.

please don't do this. MAGA hats are made from an acrylic blend, which will release toxic chemicals when set on fire, potentially harming you and downwind woodland creatures

lol. I’m still faithfully using Pinboard?? It doesn’t seem to be able to autoarchive AO3 anymore though, which is tragic.
For fans of Pinboard and Delicious, an open social bookmarking tool based on ATProto!
I made something! Monomarks.at is an open social bookmarking tool along the lines of Pinboard or Delicious, and it's based on ATProto, because I was inspired by @danabra.mov's widely-read post. Log in with your Bluesky account to save bookmarks and browse links posted by the people you follow. 😎

One of my favorite niche headcanons/fic genres is the concept of KinnPorsche and Love in the Air crossover AUs where either Kinn/Porsche or Pete/Vegas have adopted/raised various LitA kids. The problem is that there is never enough coherent and readable fic to satisfy me.
